About our bath re-enamelling in Gosford
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gosford?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Gosford: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What else we do in Gosford
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gosford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
